Video - BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM - Six Screen Eyefinity Review

OK, I know the new Batman Video Game is "Arkham City" but here's a video showing a pretty awesome 6-Monitor PC Gaming Set-Up using "Asylum" as a demo. Oh man, it's crazy! I bet if you were setting there, close to the screens, it would seem like a more natural view. But, I wish the monitor edges were not showing, more seamless, but this is still pretty cool!

BATMAN BANE WALLPAPER - Arkham Asylum Video Game Action Figure

Here's an extremely cool BANE Batman Villain WALLPAPER to decorate your desktop. Now, I didn't take this photograph so I can brag about how awesome it is, ha ha! This was a photo sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named Steve. He loves the New BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Action Figures so much that he took this awesome photo of BANE from the series. The lighting is great and you can really see some of the fine details. Oh man, I want this cool toy! ( Thanks Steve ) Plus, with Bane being a major character in "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" movie the timing is perfect!

2011 Hot Wheels ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE - New Batman Toy Car Packaging

This isn't earth-shattering news but there are some Hot Wheels Collectors out there who will find this important. OK, you know the New 2011 Hot Wheels BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE Car that is out there? Well, it's been seen with variant packaging where one has the BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Logo on it. Now, the cars are exactly the same, it's just a variation on the package design. Mattel is sort of known for doing that kinda thing, ha! Personally I like this new one with the logo because it makes it more of a piece of Bat-Merchandise. ( Thanks Chris )

THE JOKER AND HARLEY QUINN Fun Photos & News

Check out these 2 Fun JOKER & HARLEY QUINN Photos: The 1st one was sent to us by a new friend named Patricio who lives in Chile. He recently bought a "foreign copy" of the famous Joker Graphic Novel, "Batman: The Killing Joke". Well, it's not foreign to him, just us comic book collectors in the USA, ha! The neat thing is that in Chile it's titled, "La Broma Asesina". Oh yeah, now how cool is that?! That's awesome!

The next photo is absolutely incredible. This is a BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Birthday Cake of HARLEY QUINN created by a company called "Mike's Amazing Cakes". The details are insane & it's complete crazy to think that it can all be eaten! I mean, it's an ART Masterpiece. I couldn't eat it, ha!

Video: BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM Game Of The Year Edition 3D - GOTY

OK, I'm a little late reporting this ( sorry ) but this video game doesn't come out in the USA for awhile so, it's all good! I'm talking about last year's most popular video game BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM. They're going to re-release it in a Special "GAME OF THE YEAR" Edition. Oh yeah, and it's going to be in 3D! Yes, you read that right, 3-D. It looks like Eidos is jumping on that bandwagon. Well, I guess it's not a total loss because there will be a few extra characters & special maps. Plus, if the 3D action is done well then it might be pretty cool. Anyways, here's a pic of what the packaging will look like. They're making it in all the standard gaming formats: Playstation 3, XBox 360, & Windows Games ( I like PS3 the best ). OK, it's already been released in Europe & Australia ( came out March 26th ) but will hit the USA on May 11th, 2010. One last thing, down below is the game trailer...check it out!!

BATMAN TATTOO: Bat-Blog Fan Needs Your Help!

I got an email the other day from a very nice guy named Keith. He wants to get a Batman-related Tattoo with an "ARKHAM ASYLUM" theme. So, he asked me to ask my readers if you have any ideas or know of any cool graphics that sort of showcase the ARKHAM ASYLUM building. I posted a picture up above that lets you know a little bit about what we're talking about. Actually, his letter explains it a lot better than I can so please read this:

"I am thinking of getting an Arkham Asylum tattoo on my arm. The thing is I can't seem to find anything that fits the image that is in my brain. I am picturing the gates with a gargoyle on either side, The name above and the asylum itself in the background. I was wondering if you, or any of your Bat-Blog Readers, would have ( or know of any ) images that would help me out. I have gone through most of my graphic novels ( which I have a lot ) but still nothing. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!"

This is Batman as he appeared in the BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game. I'm really loving the attention to detail here but please keep in mind that this is a prototype-photo & the actual product may vary. Well, either way it's gonna look really great! DC Direct has been doing an amazing job on this statues. This one will be sculpted by Dave Cortes. It's retail price is gonna be about $80.00 & has a release date of September 1st, 2010. So, I guess, start saving your money because you're really going to WANT this one!

Batman's SCARECROW Villain Found in South Africa!

Earlier today I received a very nice letter from a guy named Johan who lives all the way in South Africa. He said he went to a club the other night called AQUA. The club was having their annual Halloween Party & a few people dressed-up in costume because there was a contest going on. Johan got his picture taken with the 2 guys who got 1st & 2nd place. One guy was Rorschach, from the WATCHMEN Graphic Novel & Movie. He came in second place. But the cool thing is that the Scarecrow, who recently escaped from Arkham Asylum, won First Place!! Thank you Johan for sending the wonderful photo. These are really great costumes & it looks like it was a very fun event! Plus, I'm glad that Batman is so popular there, that's very cool.

Joey's SCARECROW COSTUME From The BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game!

Most Bat-Blog Readers are very creative, intelligent, artistic people & some others are complete idiots, ha ha! But this post is about one of the creative ones! Here's some pics sent in by our friend Joey who, Halloween 2009, made a Scarecrow Costume...an incredibly AWESOME Scarecrow Costume! He took his inspiration from the character that appeared in the new BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game. For people who have not played this game yet, & don't know what he looks like, I added a photo ( last one ) showing him. I reason I did that was because you have to see how amazing this costume really is! It's just totally great & a very good likeness. Well done Joey & thank for sending the photos. Now, I know Halloween is over & we're gonna be winding down our coverage, but a lot of people didn't get dressed-up until the actual night so we might get a few more pics. The holiday here has been pretty fun this year & I want to thank everybody who got involved. All of the "Costume Photos" this year have been totally insane, every single one of them. We even got a few pics of some homemade Batman Jack O' Lantern Pumpkins that were cool too. Anyways, I appreciate it a lot & hope everybody has had a Safe & Happy Halloween this year!
